EastEnders<\/a> spoilers follow for Wednesday\u2019s episode (17 June), which is available to watch now on streaming service BBC iPlayer and hasn\u2019t yet aired on TV.<\/p>\n

EastEnders\u2019 Chelsea Fox has made a life-changing decision, as she struggles to make ends meet financially after her son Jordan\u2019s tragic accident. Chelsea has had a devastating time recently, with the news that Jordan may never walk again, and her mum Denise revealing that she has blood cancer<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

When Libby returned to support her mum<\/a> as Denise went into hospital to begin treatment, Chelsea opened up about to her half-sister about her current plight \u2013 and revealed that Gray\u2019s nan Sheila has been sending cheques to Jordan that she hasn\u2019t cashed.<\/p>\n

Despite there being a significant amount of cash on the table, Chelsea insisted that she didn\u2019t want money linked to Gray on the table. However, Libby secretly pocketed a birthday card to Jordan which contained Sheila\u2019s phone number.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s episode<\/a>, while visiting Jordan in hospital, Libby realised that the young boy didn\u2019t know about Denise\u2019s cancer. Libby and Chelsea prepared to get tested to see if they were a match for their mum, in case the chemotherapy doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n

Chelsea told her sister that she needed to work hard to pay for whatever provisions Jordan will need, but she can\u2019t be working behind a bar at night when she needs to be with her son. With Chelsea totally overwhelmed by her responsibilities, Libby took matters into her own hands and secretly phoned Sheila<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When the sisters went to visit their increasingly unwell mum, Denise made it clear to Chelsea that she should go home and rest, with Jack sitting with Jordan in hospital.<\/p>\n

Later in The Vic, Chelsea spied a text on Libby\u2019s phone and realised she had contacted Sheila behind her back. She was furious about her sister\u2019s betrayal and reminded her that Gray is only Jordan\u2019s biological father, not his dad. Libby tried to defend her actions, pointing out that the money would be useful, but Chelsea urged her to stay out of her life.<\/p>\n

Chelsea opened up to Eve outside in the Square, and Eve gave her a much-needed reminder that Jordan is loved and she always puts her son first. The chat made Chelsea realise that in order to do the best for Jordan, she may need to change her mind about Sheila.<\/p>\n

After making amends with Libby, Chelsea phoned Sheila herself and said that she needs her help. How will this meeting with Sheila unfold?<\/a><\/p>\n
